Hi Sita, Thanks for your reply. A follow up question I have and that is so how about measurements in mris_anatomical_stats? Wouldn't total WM volume be affected by an inaccurate wm.mgz or does freesurfer use surfaces to compute the volumes? Thank you, Nasim On Mar 3, 2009, at 6:26 PM,

Nick, I confess, I am not exactly sure what you mean by "turn off annotation display". I tried a few things. - If I don't include the -annot option in tksurfer it only displays the fsaverage, naturally. - If I toggle off the button that says "show labels", it looks like it is just

The time courses are independent of the contrasts. The time course values are the MR units globally scaled to a grand mean of 1000, so you can think of the units as 10ths of percent. I think you can configure the time course to show vertex-by-vertex percentages. doug Dave Brohawn wrote: Hell

If you use mris_wm_volume, it will compute the volume enclosed by the $h.white surfaces. It's more accurate than using mris_anatomical_stats for white matter. I believe you don't need to edit wm.mgz, assuming the $h.white surfaces accurately follow the white matter in your images. Nasim Maleki

Prapti, Try deleting the directory 'qdec/Untitled' and run it again. Prior to v4.2.0, qdec did not delete that directory, which is the default working directory, so its possible some incompatible files from a prior run were lingering. Nick On Thu, 2009-03-05 at 09:42 +1100, Prapti Gautam wrote

Good. I forgot to mention, the 'Design Name' entry box on the Design tab is intended for keep track of a particular analysis. For instance lets say your looking at thickness on the left hemi where you have selected diagnosis and age as factors. You might want to name the Design 'diagnosis_age_th

[Freesurfer] partial volume correction in mri_segstats

Hi all, In recon-all pipeline , mri_segstats runs with -pv mri/norm.mgz option ,as written from http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/mri_segstats , it is used to compensate partial voluming. I wonder what exactly does this do, as the volumes given by aseg.stats are different from aseg.mgz a

Hi Anthony, it should be more accurate (and more reliable in our studies). It estimates the volume fraction of each tissue class on the border of the structure, assuming it is mixed with adjacent classes by estimating the local mean of the two tissue classes, then computing the mixing coeffic

Stephen, The 30 minute estimate for the -autorecon1 stage is no longer accurate. It got slower when we added a feature to improved the skull-strip step. The feature is to make use of an atlas to determine where skull and cerebellum might be. To use that atlas requires a registration to that atlas

Hi Bruce, That would be great. I'm aware of the difficulty in putting partial volume information into segmentation, but maybe it could help to achieve other useful information as aseg.stats only provides the total volume for each label. Thanks, Anthony --- On Thu, 5/3/09, Bruce Fischl wrote:
